Vila Velha

Vila Velha is a coastal city in Espírito Santo, Brazil, located on the Atlantic coast near Vitória. It has limited diving activity of note; the immediate city is primarily a gateway to nearby dive sites along the south-eastern Brazilian coast. Nearby centers and sites are typically accessed from the larger port towns in the region, and conditions in the area are influenced by the South Atlantic with moderate visibility and typical tropical-marine life. If you’re visiting Vila Velha, you’ll likely plan day trips to nearby dive sites or combine with visits to coastal towns; this city itself is not a major diving hub, but serves as access point to the region’s reef and wreck sites.
